Kannada actress Ranya Rao's bail plea was dismissed for the third time by the Bangalore Sessions Court after her arrest for smuggling gold worth ₹12.56 crore. Ranya was caught with 14.2 kg of gold at Kempegowda International Airport. Following her arrest, the DRI apprehended Sahil Jain, a Ballari gold dealer. Officials seized gold and cash from her residence, and investigations revealed her multiple trips to Dubai. Her father, Karnataka DGP K Ramachandra Rao, has distanced himself from the controversy, emphasizing the legal process.
